ForexLive Asian market wrap: EUR/JPY makes more solid gains Posted: 20 Mar 2012 10:05 PM PDT
The Japanese financial markets were back on board today but they didn’t help with much improved volatility as we’ve again had fairly quiet trade in Asia. A minor AUD rally after the BREE report and a barrier play in EUR/JPY were the only moves of note. AUD/USD opened in Asia near 1.0475, rallied in early Australian trade on a mixture of profit taking after overnight falls, and a reaction to the BREE report. The gains weren’t able to be sustained above 1.0500 and the pair fell back quickly below as the market frets on China. Ranges: 1.0464/1.0527 EUR/USD was again driven by EUR/JPY flows and there were also rumours of stop-loss buy orders in EUR/USD above 1.3285 but they seemed to be unreliable. EUR/USD opened at 1.3235 and has edged its way higher on the cross flows against the JPY and the AUD. Ranges: 1.3221/83 USD/JPY was supported by talk of Sovereign demand just below the market as well as ongoing buying of EUR/JPY. There are nevertheless still plenty of grateful sellers after the big rallies of recent weeks ensuring that we remain short-term rangebound. Ranges: 83.51/74 Cable 1.5854/94; EUR/CHF 1.2054/64 |

GBP: Interesting European trading session ahead for the Pound Posted: 20 Mar 2012 08:40 PM PDT First the minutes from the last MPC meeting will be released and later in the day, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, will be giving his budget speech to the UK parliament. Sell orders are still touted in the cable at 1.5920/25 but there are also reports of stop-loss buy orders above 1.5940 and again above 1.6000. |
USD/JPY: Trying to form a top but Sovereign buyers still lurking Posted: 20 Mar 2012 08:22 PM PDT The twin forces of Sovereign buyers and rising US yields may yet prove irrestible to USD/JPY but for now at least it is still managing to consolidate below 84.15. This market has come a long way in a short time so its no wonder to see profit-taking halting the rally but if the big Sovereigns continue to turn up on dips (now rumoured at 83.20) then the next bullish break is probably only a matter of time. |
